Mistakes in skincare: Part 1

Do you follow a skincare routine that doesn’t end up giving you results? Calm down, don’t despair! Perhaps you are making some other mistake that is preventing it. In this article, we talk about the 10 most common mistakes in skincare. If you avoid them, your skin will be radiant!

So, we collected a list of some of the most common errors that people make in skincare, that are:

The most common mistakes in skincare

lack of hydration

A woman applies moisturiser to her face. Daily hydration is key for skin to look healthy and glowing. The moisturising cream not only reinforces the skin’s natural barrier but also provides luminosity, softness and elasticity to the skin, in addition to reducing wrinkles and preventing irritation.

Contrary to popular belief, those with oily or combination skin should also apply moisturiser daily. Of course, we must use a moisturiser that is appropriate for our skin type.

Choosing a product that is not suitable for your skin type

How many times have you bought a facial care product because you’ve heard that it has very good reviews or because a friend told you and it hasn’t worked out for you?

And it is that if there is something that we have repeated ad nauseam, it is that not all products are valid for all people. And not because the product is not good, but because not all skins are the same or require the same care. Therefore, we must know what our skin type is and what products are appropriate for it.

Exfoliate the skin excessively

A woman exfoliates her skin. Another very common mistake is to abuse the exfoliant, both on the face and the body. If on previous occasions we have talked about the importance of exfoliation to properly assimilate the moisturising treatment, this time we remind you that you should not use it more than once a week.

There are gentle exfoliants that can be used up to twice a week, but no more! Over-exfoliation causes us to remove the protective barrier of the skin, opening doors to dirt, and bacteria and even causing the appearance of premature wrinkles.

Lack of Consistency

How many times have you heard about the importance of consistency in all facets of life? And in skincare, it is not going to be less. Consistency is the key to success, and its lack leads us to not finish achieving the results we expect.

And the fact is that, although we know that creating a cleaning and care routine can become monotonous and heavy, it is the only way to achieve well-groomed and radiant skin. Because, as the experts say, no product ensures long-lasting results with just one application. Get into a routine!

Not using sunscreen

All women apply sunscreen to their facial skin. But are you one of those who use sunscreen throughout the year or one of those who, on the contrary, only do it during the summer months? Not using sunscreen all year round is one of the most common mistakes.

Because, contrary to what a part of the population thinks, sun protection should accompany us throughout the year. The reason? It is the only way to avoid premature ageing and the appearance of sunspots on the skin.
